According to the All City website, you need a 125mm RWS skewer. Something like this, I'd imagine. I think the 143mm one is for suspension forks.

What's going on with my fork and axle?
I have an All City Nature Boy 853 that I'm about to build. It come with a Whisky 9 fork that supposedly takes 100 x 15mm DT Swiss RWS axles. I ordered one from Rose.
I've come to fit it, but it's way too long. 130mm from the inside of the clamp to the start of the threads, 143mm from inside of clamp to the very end of the axle. I figured they'd sent me the wrong one, but according to Bike24, the 100mm axle is supposed to be 143mm long and is "solely compatible with DT Swiss forks".
What's the craic?
